HARD-woRkikc WOMEN.

The LiIe Led BY Female Employees Of .
Spanish Tobacco Factory.
A soberer phase of Sevillian life is
seen at the Government tobacco fac
tory. This enormous establishment
employs about 5000 women and girls.
1t manufactures cigars and cigarettes
for the Spanish market, using for that
purpose mainly Cuban and North
American tobacco. The women are
paid for their work by the piece. and
receive from four to six reals eighteen
to twenty-seven cents) per day. They
are permitted to come to the factory
from seven to ten o'clock .. m. and
may remain until eight p. m. They
must all reside outside of the Govern
ment premises. which are surrounded
by . moat and kept under strict military
guard to prevent smuggling. No
schools or hospitals are provided for
the employees. of whom most are very
ignorant, and some immoral. Not
more than one in hundred can read.
Most of them are young. but some are
middle-aged, some very old, and some
yet children. Many who are mothers
bring their infants with them, and the
babes are seen coddled in cradles or
Growing amid the tobacco leaves on
the work-tables. Beside these tables
the women sit in groups of fifteen or
twenty, and there being no partition
separating one department from an
other, an entire floor constitutes but
one vast chamber. The chatter of the
toilers fills the room with continual
din. Most of the women are true
Spaniards in appearance. with tawny
skin and hair and eyes black as coal.
Some are quite handsome, but the COM
plcxions of most have apparently
suffered from the life and occupation
they follow. 1t could scarcely be other
wise, sitting every day as they do in
an atmosphere saturated with the fumes
of nicotine. Some of the girls wore
roses in their black hair, and I noticed
one pale little maid who kept bunch

table before her. Interior.

THE ETHICS OF HOLINESS.
Emotion Alone Not Holiness, but Purity
Of Heart and Life.

Emotion Alone Not Holiness, but Purity
of Heart and Life.
The word ''ethics' is Greek word
for ''mOrals," but is so well known and
80 expressive that no apology is needed
for using it. Much has been said and
written on holiness in respect to its ex-
perience as source of blessedness and
Joy. nor can too much be said of its
value, if it be real and not the ebulli-
ton of mere emotion. Emotion deep
and hallowed springs out of it, so that
the most holy Christians are the hap
piest. Holiness is purity of heart and
life. To be holy is to be separated
separated from the world and sin. and
set apart for God; and. therefore, it
consists in aiming at and realizing the
highest standard of morals which the
world of God sets before us. ''Thy
commandments are exceedingly
broad" says the Psalmist, and the
ethics of holiness embrace all forms of
public, social. and church life.
BY public life is meant the life which
men pursue a citizens Of the world
the life of trade, business and COM
merce. Now, can man be holy who
is following an occupation which he
knows is detrimental to the in. erests of
his fellow-men? Or, can a man be
holy who. in an occupation which is in
itself right, is addicted to tricks in
trade, who uses false weights and
measures. or who is untruthful in his
converse with those who deal with
him? We ought to ask. can man be
a Christian and do these things? Con-
science answers no. and the Bible an
swers no. A holy man will be up
right in all his transactions. and will
be as careful to guard the interests of
his fellow-men-thelr property and
their character-as he is to guard his
own.
Social life. in the narrower sense, is
the life of the family. and so close is
the relationship in which we stand to
one another in this inner circle that
holiness must reflect itself in every act
we do, and in every word we utter. Is
that man holy who in the love-feast
speaks of his rich experience. and then
goes home to display an ungenerous
and acrimonious temper? No; holy
man will be affectionate and kind to his
wife and children, courteous and affa-
bic to all his visitors, and studious to
make his home, even though poor
one, little heaven. The same princi-
pie will exhibit itself in the wider cir.
cles of friendship and neighborhood.-
Ihornbv Smith.

Hence, an excuse which would not
keep us from the store on Saturday
should not keep us from the sanctuary
on Sunday. Then. too, in the matte,
of dealing with strangers the children
Of this world are often wiser than the
children of light. A stranger in the
community is welcome by the mer-
chant to his place of business. treated
kindly. and invited to call again. The
merchant remembers the stranger
name, recognizes him wherever he
meets him, and thus wins him as a per-
manent customer, and often as a firm
friend. All this. primarily. as mat
ter of business. There are dollars in
it Should we not do as much for souls
as for dollars? Persons come into our
societies who have been useful and
highly appreciated workers in the
church elsewhere. If they receive a
hearty welcome from preacher and
people their zeal and usefulness will
continue; but if unencouraged or re-
ceived coldly. the great and sudden
transition will chill them; they will be
lost to joy and activity in Christian
life, and perhaps to the church and to
Heaven. Then there are those
all about us who. though not strangers
to us, are unacquainUed with our Elder
Brother. They are on their way to the
judgment without God and without
hope. We would make great sacrifice
to save a friend from financial ruin.
Oh, that we might have an ardent love
for souls, and a burning zeal to save
them from eternal bankruptcy. Let
''holiness unto the Lord be written
upon the bells of the horses, over the
portals of our homes. the doors of our
stores. and the archways of our hearts.
Let us pay our vows unto the Lord as
faithfully as unto men. Then religion
will glorify business, and business will
propagate religion. Under the benefi-
cent influence of this Divine rule 1.-THE
kingdoms of this world will become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ; and He shall reign forever and
ever." Req. W. W. Stevens, tn N. W.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Attorney General has rendered q
very important decision with regard to
the right of aliens to hold mining stocks.
The act of Congress of March 3. 1878,
restricted the ownership of real estate
ia Territories to American citizens and
forbade aliens holding real property or
tories. 1t was claimed in certain COM
munications to the President that this
Inv prevented aliens from owning
shares or stock issued by American cor
porations that own mineral lands in the
Territories. The President referred the
matter to the Attorney General, whose
reply draws the distinction between the
ownership Of reulty in mineral or other
lands holding stock or shares or even
leases which are personal property.
The distinction seems SO obvious that it
il strange that any confusion on the
subject should have risen- The public
policy that prevents foreign ownership
vi the soil does not in any way extend
tn foreign investment in the shares OF
American enterprises. 1t is obviously
